MOSFET Second gate control Controls the narrow AGC. No. 4715-7/21 LA1193M, 1193V 1. Oscillator Circuit Steps were taken to prevent AMR degradation during earlier product type AGC operation, since the local oscillator block in this IC has independent Vd (pin 5) and ground (pin 3) connections. This is a Colpitts oscillator and has the same structure as that used in earlier circuits. The oscillation level and intensity are changed by capacitors C2-4, C4 and CP. 2. Local Oscillator Buffer Output This buffer is an emitter follower circuit. If desired, the buffer efficiency can be increased by inserting a resistor between pin 1 and ground to pass more current through the buffer transistor. However, this current must be limited so that Pdmax for the package is not exceeded. 3. Interference Characteristics The LA1193M incorporates a newly developed 3D-AGC (triple dimension) circuit. This circuit allows three-signal interference characteristics (inter-modulation characteristics) and two-signal sensitivity suppression characteristics to be provided at the same time, a combination of characteristics previously thought difficult to achieve. • Inter-Modulation Characteristics The LA1193M prevents inter-modulation distortion by applying two wide-band AGC circuits. Figure 1 No. 4715-8/21 LA1193M, 1193V This double wide-band AGC system consists of two AGC circuits and a narrow AGC (pin 13 input, mixer input detection type) as shown in Figure 1. Figure 2 shows the antenna input frequency characteristics. Figure 2 AGC Sensitivity Detuning Characteristics Features of the Double Wide AGC System — Since this is a mixer input detection wide-band AGC, it prevents the occurrence of intermodulation due to interfering stations with ∆f > 1 MHz. (TV band interference prevention) — Since this system uses a narrow AGC at the same time, the wide AGC sensitivity can be lowered, thus preventing incorrect operation due to local oscillator injection. — Optimal sensitivities for any field conditions can be set, since the sensitivities of both the wide and narrow AGC systems can be set by changing the values of external components. — The input level of the desired station is limited by the narrow AGC. As a result, excessive levels are no longer input to the stages that follow the mixer and the beats at multiples of 10.7 × A are reduced. • Two-Signal Sensitivity Suppression Characteristics Previously, keyed AGC systems were used to provide good intermodulation distortion and two signal sensitivity suppression characteristics at the same time. However, in previous keyed AGC systems, when the desired station would fade or drop out, the wide band AGC level would become essentially zero. As a result, the automatic station selection function would malfunction and blocking oscillation would occur in the presence of strong interfering stations. Thus keyed AGC systems were extremely hard to use in actual practice. Sanyo has developed a new AGC system (3D-AGC) that solves these problems and allows the construction of extremely simple application circuits. The LA1193M/V incorporates this AGC system. What is the 3D-AGC system? It is a system that determines the wide-band AGC level by using information that has the following three frequency characteristics. RF and antenna circuit information Mixer circuit information C, F and selectivity information Mixer input AGC Mixer output AGC S-meter output Three dimensions No. 4715-9/21 LA1193M, 1193V 3D-AGC Features Feature Merit The narrow AGC sensitivity, which operates for ∆f of less than 1.5 MHz, is controlled independently according to the field strength of the desired station. • This is effective as a measure for mitigating two signal sensitivity suppression. The narrow AGC sensitivity is controlled at V20 values under 2 V. • This allows two signal sensitivity suppression to be mitigated without deterioration in the three signal characteristics. The wide AGC operates even when V20 is zero, i.e., when the desired station does not exist. • This allows the prevention of incorrect stopping on intermodulation signals during search. • This allows the prevention of intermodulation occurring in the antenna and RF modulation circuits in the presence of strong interfering stations. Prevention of blocking oscillation due to AGC operation is also possible. The N-AGC and the W-AGC sensitivities can be set independently. • This allows optimal settings to match the reception field conditions. The system has two AGC systems, the N-AGC and the W-AGC. • Since the narrow AGC operates at the desired station and at adjacent stations, it is possible to reduce the wide AGC sensitivity. This prevents incorrect AGC operation due to local oscillator injection. 3D-AGC Sensitivity, ∆f and V20 Characteristics Figure 3 3D-AGC Sensitivity, ∆f and V20 Characteristics — The W-AGC sensitivity is determined by the antenna RF circuit selectivity independently of V20. — The N-AGC sensitivity is determined by the antenna, RF and mixer circuit total selectivity when V20 is 0.6 V or greater. It is determined by that selectivity and V20 when V20 is over 0.6 V. — The improvement in two-signal sensitivity suppression is the shaded area in the total AGC sensitivity and corresponds to the section occupied by the N-AGC.

Mixer The mixer circuit used in this IC is a balanced input/balanced output double balance mixer circuit. • Input Format Emitter input Input impedance: 25 Ω Optimization of the component geometry, emitter current and bias allow this circuit to achieve the following performance. Mixer input usable sensitivity: 15 dBµ Mixer input IMQS*: 90.5 dBµ Figure 4 Mixer Circuit (Improved by 6.0 dBµ over previous products.) Note: * Mixer input IMQS is defined as follows: fr = 98.8 MHz, no input fu1 = 98.8 MHz, 1 kHz, 30% modulation fu2 = 99.6 MHz, no modulation IMQS is the interference 1 and 2 input levels such that when an interference signal with the same level is input to the mixer and distortion occurs at the mixer, the generated IM output has a S/N ratio of 30 dB. 5. IF Amplifier This IF amplifier is a single stage differential amplifier. Specifications Input impedance: 330 Ω Output impedance: 330 Ω Gain: 25 dB Gain adjustment can be provided using either of the methods shown. IF Gain adj Temperature Characteristics The LA1193M/V uses Vref temperature characteristics correction to hold the gain temperature characteristics to the low level of about 1 dB over the range –30 to +80°C. No. 4715-11/21 LA1193M, 1193V 6. AGC Circuit The LA1193M/V uses pin diode antenna damping (pin 9) and MOSFET second gate voltage control (pin 16) for AGC. The AGC operating sequence is as follows: Antenna damping (pin diode) → MOSFET second gate voltage control (attenuation) 20 dB (attenuation) dB The above AGC sequence is used for the following reasons. • Intermodulation distortion can occur if a signal of 110 dBµ or larger is input to the antenna circuit varactor diode. In such situations, if the AGC sequence was MOSFET second gate voltage control followed by pin diode antenna damping, as long as the receiver was not in a strong field where the 60 dB or higher AGC attenuation operates, input limitation due to the antenna circuit varactor diode would operate. Therefore, we feel that the AGC operating sequence employed is appropriate. • Consider the problem of AGC loop stability. If the two AGC loops (the antenna damping AGC loop and the MOSFET second gate control AGC loop) operate, the AGC system would become unstable and have an excessively large influence on the transient response. Therefore the following structure cannot be used. MOSFET second gate control → antenna damping → MOSFET second gate control The AGC operating conditions are the same as those for the LA1175M. • Narrow AGC circuit Since the LA1193M/V’s N-AGC (which detects the mixer output) is set to have a high sensitivity, care is required to avoid incorrect operation. In particular, there must be adequate separation from the local oscillator block on the printed circuit board pattern. Also, a resistor of at least 500 Ω must be inserted at the pin 13 input. A low-pass filter is formed by the insertion of this resistor. This low-pass filter prevents incorrect AGC operation due to the local oscillator. • The AGC sensitivity setting can be changed by adjusting the value of the capacitor connected at pin 13. Although the AGC sensitivity can be lowered by increasing the value of the series resistor, caution is required since the AGC has its own frequency characteristics. • Wide AGC circuit The wide AGC sensitivity is set by the value of the capacitor on pin 8. However, since incorrect operation due to the local oscillator signal may occur if this capacitor is too large, its value must be chosen carefully. • 3D-AGC If the difference in sensitivity between the N-AGC and the W-AGC systems is too large during 3D-AGC operation, the S/N ratio can be degraded in the vicinity of the input where the AGC switches. Therefore, the 3D-AGC setting values must be selected carefully. Although this problem can be ameliorated by applying a time constant to pin 20, in principle, this S/N ratio degradation should be prevented by limiting the sensitivity difference between the two AGC systems.
